Glam Polish Truly Outrageous Collection [Partial] Swatches & Review

Hey there and happy Mani Monday :) I have a new Glam Polish collection to share with you, the Truly Outrageous collection inspired by Jem & the Holograms! I never watched Jem when I was younger but my older sisters did so I know what it's about and these colors are seriously perfectly in line with that theme! There are nine shades in the collection and I have six for review.

Truly Outrageous is a bright purple scattered holographic with frosty blue shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holo glitter. Amazing application like most Glams I've tried. This base is substantial so it covers in one coat, but you'll want another to get more depth and sparkle.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! is a highlighter yellow scattered holographic with green shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holo glitter. Same amazing formula, but you'll definitely need two coats for this guy.

Everyone Has a Secret Identity is a super bright pink scattered holographic with fuchsia shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holo glitter. This one is opaque in one coat, but you see two here in my swatch.

I Got My Eye on You is a bright blue scattered holographic with fuchsia shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holo glitter. Another fab formula, opaque in two coats.

Without Us, You’re Nothing is a bright orange scattered holographic with gold shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holo glitter. Another one that is opaque in one coat but I used two.

Showtime Synergy has a silver holographic base filled with a mix of ultra holo and neon blue, pink and chartreuse glitter. Effortless formula and opaque in just two coats, but depending on how long your nails are/how white your free edge is you may need one more.

The three other shades that complete the collection are: Starlight Music - bright watermelon scattered holo with gold shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holographic glitter, She’s Got The Power - bright green scattered holo with blue shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holographic glitter, and Music is Magic - bright fuchsia scattered holo with blue shimmer and a sprinkling of ultra holographic glitter. You can see these on my friend Lisa's blog, Cosmetic Sanctuary. All of these dry a bit dull and will require a thick top coat to smooth completely due to the glitter. I had success with just one layer of Seche Vite top coat.

These colors will launch on April 1st 2pm EDT (USA), 4am AEST (AUS) on the Glam Polish website. They expect this collection to be in high demand so there will be a limit of one bottle per shade per person for all orders until April 14th, after that they will remove the limit if you wish to order extra bottles. These shades are all priced at $11.50 per bottle.

Let me know what you think about these! Did you watch Jem & The Holograms?? I love these colors, they seem super 80's and a little bit Lisa Frank too, whose stuff I loved of course. My favorites from the collection are Truly Outrageous and Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie!, and I know I'm going to have to pick up Starlight Music!
